Odem Bands Schedule – Week of 8/5/2019

We would like to begin this week by thanking the Community of Odem-Edroy ISD for supporting our students during our 5th Annual March-A-Thon! We raised just under $1,200 this year with the fundraiser and appreciate everyone who came out to support the students!

Last week with the HS Band we had a fantastic start to our season with a first day of setting drill on Thursday. We’re looking forward to continuing those gains this week as we work to build on that great start! Please help us make sure that students are attending all of the rehearsals this week and leading up to school. We will be moving very quickly on learning drill and beginning to move and play. Missing any rehearsals will set students back a great deal!

This year we are using a new app called Ultimate Drill Book to help students learn their sets and clean our marching. We had some technical issues with it that hopefully have been resolved, if students had problems they should try and download the files labeled ‘Version 2’ today before tomorrow. If students were already working they can use the existing files.

Our schedule does change this week to work with the beginning of Football and Volleyball practices. Please note the schedule below for more information.

Fall Marching Band Fees:

Fall Marching Band Fee 1 Needs to be turned in by Tuesday of this week. That amount is $45 for all students in the Spirit of OHS Marching Band.

Freshmen/students who need shoes have a second fee of $40 which will be due by August 24th. (Freshman/students who need shoes may pay the full $85 at once if they wish)

Color Guard Members will need to pay their second fee of $200 by Thursday. They will need to pay an additional $40 if they wish to have the guard bags.

Fall 2019 Marching Band Shirts:

Each year we are asked if we have any extra shirts for the show. I would like to offer the opportunity for anyone who would like to order a show shirt to do so. You may find a form here at this link. Please turn shirt orders and payments in by Thursday!
